JACK'S ALL IN

Brit now best of the rest

- NEIL MCLEMAN

JACK DRAPER is the new favourite to reach the US Open semi-finals in his wide open section of the draw after the shock defeat of Carlos Alcaraz.

British No.1 Draper had been scheduled to meet Spanish superstar Alcaraz in a blockbuster last-32 clash.

But the Wimbledon champion was stunned in the second round by brilliant Botic van de Zandschlup, the world No.74 who had considered retiring after losing in the French Open first round.

None of the eight men left in the two Brits' section of the draw have ever reached a Grand Slam semifinal, with Draper given the shortest odds by US bookmakers to reach the last four.
